The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 is a compact indoor security camera designed for customers who want clear home monitoring, smart motion alerts, and stronger privacy control. With 1080p Full HD video, 360° panoramic coverage, two-way voice calls, and app-based control, it is a practical choice for bedrooms, living rooms, offices, baby rooms, and pet monitoring.
Its strongest selling point is privacy-focused smart security. The physical lens shielding hides the camera lens into the body when privacy is needed, while encrypted data protection, local AI human detection, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and flexible storage options make it a reliable everyday camera for modern smart homes.
1080p Full HD Monitoring
The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 records in 1920 × 1080 resolution with a 2MP camera, giving clear Full HD video for everyday indoor monitoring. It is suitable for checking your home, family, pets, or office from your phone.
Physical Lens Shielding for Privacy
For stronger privacy control, the camera lens can hide upwards into the body when not in use. This physical lens shielding gives users peace of mind because privacy is protected at the source, not only through software settings.
Encrypted Data Protection
The camera uses an MJA1 security chip, fully encrypted data transmission, and AES-128 encryption for cloud data. These privacy features help protect video data, communication, and storage more securely.
Local AI Human Detection
The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 uses a local AI human detection algorithm to detect people faster and more accurately without relying on cloud processing. When movement is detected, the camera can track it and send real-time alerts directly to your phone.
Pet Detection and Tracking
The camera can automatically detect and follow cats and dogs, helping users keep an eye on their pets while away from home. This feature is useful for pet owners who want to check movement and daily activity during the day.
360° Panoramic Coverage
With its dual-axis pan-tilt motor, the camera can rotate smoothly up, down, left, and right. Users can control the viewing angle from the Xiaomi Home app for wider room coverage and fewer blind spots.
Two-Way Voice Calls
The built-in speaker and smart noise-cancelling microphone allow real-time two-way voice calls through the phone. This makes it easy to speak with family members, check on children, or talk to someone at home when you are away.
Low-Light and Night Vision
The high-sensitivity image sensor helps the camera keep colour images for longer in low-light conditions. For dark rooms, six built-in infrared illuminators provide clear night vision without producing visible red light that may disturb sleep.
Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity
The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 supports Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax on 2.4GHz. With Wi-Fi 6 support, it is designed to improve signal stability and smoother HD video playback when used with compatible networks.
Flexible Video Storage
The camera supports microSD card storage from 8GB to 256GB and cloud storage. H.265 encoding helps reduce bandwidth and storage usage while keeping playback smooth. MicroSD cards are not included and may need to be formatted before use.
Smart Assistant Compatibility
The camera works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant using compatible devices. This allows users to view the camera feed using voice commands where supported by the assistant and region.
Easy Installation
The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 supports flat and inverted mounting. For inverted installation, users can adjust the image rotation inside the Xiaomi Home app to display the correct orientation.
